Well it's Monday here at Camp Huntington and we went on a nature hike to camp Kirby. Throughout the hike we got to see how the different types of trees an other nature features that were located on the woods.
One of the first stops we made were to see how the deer had destroyed the undergrowth of the tree. To be honest I never really stopped to ever look or think about that before. I actually never really saw it as a problem until today. The deer population have eaten the entire under growth of the trees leaving almost no leaves at the bottom and just branches, and it doesn't seem like there is much that we can do about it unless we begin to start the control the deer growth population.
Another thing that I enjoyed today was canoeing along the shore on the lake. Although it gave us a chance to relax and just look at the features here at the Adirondacks we were also learning about how to maneuver a canoe and just looking at the trees and other outdoor features was interesting. This allowed us all to work together and build a sense of bonding and community while we were learning as well, which I feel is very important in the classroom.
